Part of being a good wife and a great mom is being able to take a few minutes to RELAX and unwind. A stressed woman does not make for a happy household. I'm sure you all have no idea what I am talking about. I know this seems like a "duh" statement, but how often do we truly take a minute to breathe, unwind, and just REST? We can get so caught up in all the things that we feel we need "to do", that we forget to fully enjoy what we have.

There are days in my house when I count myself blessed to have been able to use the bathroom with the door closed. Or when answering the phone requires a run into the closet so that the screams of my children are a dull roar. By the end of the day I am spent, tired, and feel that I have so little to give to my children and to my husband.

Today's Little Leap of Love is to pamper yourself - five minutes, ten minutes...just do something that brings rest to you and relaxes you! Soak in the tub. Curl up in a comfy place with a good book. Give yourself a little facial. Have a cup of tea. Do a suduko puzzle...if it brings you rest, just pamper yourself a little bit {or a whole lot!}. You and your family will be thankful you did!

Points for this leap of love: 40 points

Don’t forget! You earn points by completing the "Leap" assigned on the day it is assigned. Some of the activities will also include bonus points.

I am a mom to 4 children and wife to a wonderful man. We homeschool all four children, and my days are spent trying to keep up with them all…and the house…and life in general.

My passion is teaching my kids and helping other families in their homeschool journey. Working with children has always
been something I have enjoyed, and I love that the online world has provided a
way to share ideas and resources with other families all over the world. The last few years has brought speaking opportunities at blogging conferences, homeschool groups, and also homeschool conventions.
